I haz alpaca! And boy, are they puuuuurty.

Three white, one red, one black, one fawn, two chocolate brown.
I am laying claim to the red and one white, and in serious danger of falling in love with the black and the fawn, so the sooner you come see them the better chance you have of prying one or both away from me.

...to the dedication of the Trinity mosaic.
When: Sunday, December 23 at 10:15 AM 
Where: St. Maron Church, 600 University Ave NE, Minneapolis
Why: Because...it'll be really cool?

After three years of work, including two months of installation, the Trinity mosaic is finally done. And I'm out of work, which is another subject entirely. So...yeah. I'd ( Read more... )

The ballet studio I work for is talking about doing Sleeping Beauty in the spring. They have never put this on before, and it requires (surprise!) a large number of "medieval court" costumes. If you or anyone you know knows of a good source of these, either to rent or buy, I would be most grateful. The cast is likely to be mostly kids, but they ( Read more... )

These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicize those you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. Add an asterisk to those you've read more than once. Underline those on your to-read list.

Aha. I just realized why I'm still up and with little inclination to go to bed: I had caffeine waaaay too late.

Bad Mira. :(

But sunrise is in a little over an hour, so I think I'll try and stay up for it.

I know I'm going to pay for this later, though. I'll probably crash this afternoon.

Yay home! And yay for having internet at home at last. Jamie said it just got hooked up on Tuesday, so just in time for me to get home ( Read more... )

Me = highly amused.

Went shopping with Mom today. Got new shoes (among other things, but the shoes are the most amusing). And no comments about how many pairs of shoes I already have. I needed these; my old summer-running-around shoes were getting very ratty.

If I can figure out how to post a picture, I will do so at some point.

Random amusement: watching Oprah today, and someone on the show said, "You need to take a scaffold to that relationship." And I went, "...huh?" Judging by the hand motion he made I can only assume he meant guillotine, but I'm now trying to visualize how one would end a relationship with scaffolding.

Grr. Crappy day. :| Wouldn't have been so bad if I'd at least gotten an early start, but I didn't. I really didn't. And then realized that, while I don't have to do the beard because I'm missing a rather vital colour, that just means I'm doing gold. And Christine did the lines. I'm seriously tempted to erase all of hers and redo them, because that ( Read more... )

Okay...feel like screaming, either in terror or delight. Not really sure which ( Read more... )
